"Here is my heart"
with trembling hands
you held to me
this treasure rare.
I stand in awe
at such a gift--
A fragile flower
blooming, lovely
in your hand.
I reach to touch
the fragile bloom
afraid to bruise
its precious petals
knowing it is not
one bloom of many
but the outpouring
of the soil of years.
I shake my head
in wonder at such trust
and cup its sweet perfume
within a gentle hand.
